The PlayStation Classic has finally been announced! Sony’s miniaturized version of their very first video game console will have 20 games loaded right into it, allowing players to plug in and easily play those nostalgia-inducing titles. Only five of the PlayStation Classic games have been announced so far, but we know that some of the remaining 15 will be different depending on what region you buy the PlayStation Classic in. The five titles announced so far are Final Fantasy VII, Jumping Flash, Ridge Racer Type 4, Tekken 3, and Wild Arms.
A while ago, we looked at 30 games that a hypothetical PS1 mini should have, but now that the PlayStation Classic is real, we wanted to revisit with the staff to see exactly what suggestions they had for the rest of the unannounced PlayStation Classic games. Everyone remembers the PS1 era differently, and has their own games that they fondly recall. We’re certain the PlayStation Classic will include a variety of gems, but which ones would make or break the purchase for us?
We asked the PlayStation LifeStyle staff what PlayStation Classic games they want to see on the upcoming mini-console.
What games do you want to see on the PlayStation Classic? Sony’s mini-console releases on December 3, 2018 for $99, and is available to preorder at multiple retailers now. Let us know in the comments below what games will be be the deciding factor on your own purchase of the PlayStation Classic.

What PlayStation Classic Games Do You Want?
With the PlayStation Classic now confirmed, we asked the PSLS staff what games they want to see come with the mini console.

Metal Gear Solid is my top pick. It's a defining PS1 game, and I think the PlayStation Classic needs to be loaded with games that defined the system. I'd also love to see Twisted Metal 2, and while I want other Final Fantasy games, I also think that one FF game in Final Fantasy VII is enough. There are only 20 spots after all.

Grand Theft Auto 2!

A long shot this but I'd love to see Vigilante 8 and/or Future Cop LAPD.

It is completely unrealistic, but I want Bust a Groove on there. I need an easy way to dance along to "Sora to Umi to Niji no Yume," "2 Bad," and "I luv hamburgers."

There had better be some Castlevania: Symphony of the Night on there.

Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain and Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver.

I second a request for Grand Theft Auto 2, alongside Twisted Metal. Would be great to see. But why should we have to put a wishlist together? A console like this should include storage space, and a store to simply buy classics that we want...But then I guess it might not also only be $100...Oh well.

Great suggestions so far from the PSLS team. Twisted Metal and Symphony of the Night are musts, IMO. Would also like to see Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, Wipeout, FF Tactics (my fav game ever), Silent Hill, or any other games that helped propel PlayStation into stardom.

Hard to remember which ones really need analog sticks.The system was an absolute RPG powerhouse, so it's great to see Final Fantasy VII and Wild ARMs on there right off the bat. I say add Breath of Fire III and Valkyrie Profile for sure, maybe Final Fantasy Tactics if they feel there's room for more than one FF on there.Castlevania: Symphony of the Night's a no-brainer.Wipeout 3 to get a racer in there, Intelligent Qube because it's timeless and amazing, and is Tomb Raider too redone and too far along now to revisit it by putting Tomb Raider II on this thing? That one had tank-control gameplay doable without analog sticks IIRC, saving anywhere instead of just stupid crystals, and it's the one where Lara's boobs stopped being triangles......So I hear...from my...friend....
